Intermittency impacts approximately 60% of the world’s streams and rivers, and their extent is expected to increase with future climate change. Despite their ubiquitous nature, there is a lack of understanding surrounding the impact of intermittency on nutrient loss in streams. More specifically, the propagation of nutrient export moving downstream is not well characterized across a range of hydrologic connectivity conditions. To address this gap, we studied Brush Creek, an intermittent stream in Northwest Arkansas, sampling four nested sites along the mainstem of the watershed for nitrate and soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP). Using the loadflex model, we used continuous discharge measurements and grab sample data to estimate daily nutrient concentrations and loads at each site from October 2024 to November 2025. Using metrics of synchrony, we quantified the effect of drying on the coupling between upstream and downstream nutrient dynamics, specifically measuring the extent to which nutrient patterns propagate through the stream network on signal propagation downstream. Preliminary results indicate that drying reduces synchronicity in nutrient dynamics across nested sites. This suggests that surface hydrology exerts significant control on nutrient exports in intermittent networks, as loss of surface flow disrupts the downstream propagation of nutrient signals. Our results will help inform how hydrologic connectivity is impacting nutrient loading as stream intermittency becomes more prevalent in our changing climate.
